EYSA's Technical Directors (TDs) function as development assets for use by ALL EYSA clubs. The TDs will focus on coaching both
players AND coaches alike. The "coaching" provided by the TDs will be in the form of 1:1 training at the practices of individual teams (approx 80%) and running 1:many clinics (approx 20%). Also,
the primary focus of these TDs will be on the Recreational Programs of all the EYSA Clubs (approx 70%), with the remaining amount of their time going towards Select (15%) and building and
communicating Curriculum and Best Practices (15%).

Colin Rigby grew up on the eastside, and has a strong affinity for the development of soccer to players in the community. He
believes youth soccer should follow a structured philosophy that is based on developing purposeful technical skills at a young age. Soccer is a game that can teach its players teamwork,
competition, hard work, creativity, problem solving and encouragement. Colin is proud to coach soccer in the northwest, as it has become the "soccer capital of the United States."

Has coached for Tualatin Hills SC, FC Portland, University of Portland Soccer Camps, New England Revolution Camps, Dallas Burn
Camps, Colorado Rapids Camps, Seattle Sounders Camp, Portland Timbers Soccer Camps, Central Catholic High School, and Thomas Jefferson High School, where the team won the 4A State Championship
and he was 4A coach of the year.

Aaron Byers is a strong proponent of proper player development, having authored an extensive curriculum which thousands of players
have used. He prides himself on developing players that are: technically superior; able to advance up the player pathway to the highest levels of play; teaching kids to play the game by passing through opponents; never booting the ball; clever and sharp mentally; and gain speed through
development of the brain, not fitness.
